We have another look today at location filming photos from Shell Cottage courtesy of TLC reader Victoria. As noted below, she was present for the filming of the Shell Cottage scenes for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yesterday in Wales. Also present was her sister Nadean Jarvis who owns Panache Imagery. Special for the readers of Leaky, Nadeen sent along some wonderful new photos which you can see starting here in our galleries. They also report that apparently actor Vern Troyer was on set apparently to do work for Dobby along with actor Toby Jones. Mr Troyer can be seen here wearing special pants that contain white dots that will be used as the CGI special effects for Dobby later in the film.

Filming continues today on location at Freshwater Beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales for Deathly Hallows. Thanks ever so much to Victoria and Nadean

I am so greatful xxxxxxx love you so much, the pics are amazingWicked_Lady says: Amazing! All this pictures have been great! It seems like Hermione was injured after all, see there was nothing to worry about people. starkitty313 says: Awesome! I'm so excited for this movie!!loony_slytherin says: oh these rock! :) yay!Horcruxalej says: Vern Troyer?? Hmm interesting!cheeserpleaser says: Many thanks once again for sharing these beautiful pictures with us. I cannot believe that we are still waiting for the Half-Blood Prince as I view these images.dingy0413 says: These pics are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!! My fav so far is the B&W one of Hermione carrying Dobby, with Ron in the back. Also, I've checking here constantly on our work computers, just dying for some Day 3 shots. =) Wicked_Lady says: I love Emma's pictures of her taking pictures of her photographers! XDCaracticus says: Now, in PS/SS, Vern Troyer played Griphook: I read on another Shell Cottage set report that it was Warwick Davis (who played the OTHER goblin at Gringots in PS/SS) playing Griphook... I don't see why Mr. Troyer wouldn't reprise his role as Griphook. I'm just confused, but is it CONFIRMED that Mr. DAVIS is playing Griphook, NOT Mr. Troyer?abandonedboyjon says: thanks to those involved in obtaining these pictures, they're beautiful. I can't believe ron apparates with hermione, just like in the book!
MuggleQueen says: Thanks ever so much Victoria and Nadean! It was really cool seeing these pictures, I love all the out-of-character photos as it shows how much fun they all seem to have on set.
And OMG that pic of Harry - I think I'm gonna end up crying even more in the film at that moment than I did while reading it!HPNAIV says: OMG Ron comforting Hermione!! *diesDolemite says: A lot of great picts.floridianhp says: cool! =)))))))maera-kyrie says: Haha I agree with ChristinePotter. Great photos, and very interesting! Thanks, Sue! ^_^maera-kyrie says: Haha I agree with ChristinePotter. Great photos, and very interesting! Thanks, Sue! ^_^Lilleby says: Caracticus: I'll try to explain it for you(:
Verne Troyer DID play the role of Griphook in PS/SS, but only played him. Warwick Davis did the speaking part of Griphook, since Verne Troyer is not British.
So it is much easier to let Warwick Davis play Griphook in DH, since he should do the voice anyway(:cghambright says: These pics are AWESOME!!LeakyMugLuva749 says: Why is he dobby? it doesnt makes sense...Prisoner Of Azkaban says: Brilliant pics! Best ones i have seen yet :D
I can't see if Bill, has scars on his face or not? Can anybody else?
You would think they would do it with make up?
Thanks again for the pics though. Amazing maimiaa says: awesome pictures :Dvictoria_price says: Hes Dobby because they needed a real person to play the dying scene. The suit is covered in tiny dots that are ready with a computer, with that they can then get the real human movement of the death scene and then they fill in the gaps with speciel FX. Its really hard to type it lol, in the film you wont see it as vern at all.twiwizardjedi says: In the black and white pic of Hermione carrying Dobby, with Ron's profile just behind her, we can see a small slash of a wound on her neck. Bellatrix's knife is IN. This scene is going to be so intense!Matea says: these are awesome! thank you so much!
I don't know what to think about Bill. I always imagined him way prettier.hm:(
Dan and Rupes look so tired.bless them! but this is so exciting..guys,they're filming our last HP book :(weasleywannabe1997 says: Wow -- these pictures are so fabulous! They are giving loving attention to these scenes, you can tell. The photo of Harry in sorrow -- the last one -- is heartbreaking! WOW!Wingardium Leviosa says: These are great pictures, thank you so much! I like the one of Emma taking a picture of Nadean taking a picture, haha. :-)Verity Weasley says: I'm trying not to look at too many photos, but wait for the movie instead. The personal ones of the cast are great to look at though. pottercastfan says: COOL!!!!! but a bit too much?pottercastfan says: they should have shown Dobby!jenbabe705 says: Vern Troyer?! I don't know how I feel about him being in the films. After seeing his behavior on other shows I don't really want him associated with Potter.
DanielaNC says: I big thank you to Victoria and Nadean! Great job! Oh, the pic with Ron and Hermione breaks my heart, it's so beautiful!jojojojo says: OMIGOODNESS ME!! If that's Verne Troyer, I took photos of him on Monday,, I double checked the photos I took and I found this one on the beach:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jo_prout/3529036469/
jojojojo says: Arrghhh!! Why didn't I realise it was him!!!jojojojo says: One of the crew told me that they are scheduled to finish Thursday, but are likely to overun onto Friday. But the weather is forecast to be awful tomorrow, perhaps they are planning to film at the one they built indoors, so today would be the last day that they are filming there so to speak.himatej says: Wow. the pics were amazingly shot. Great photographymollywobble says: Thanks Nadeen for sharing your images. And thanks Victoria for all the info.
Jenbabe705, Troyer was in the first film. So... too late, he was already associated with it. DanielleD says: can't wait!

I'm glad to see they keept in Hermiones injury after all.jojojojo says: Hrm... just reading Twitter, and Verne Troyer hasn't been in the UK at all this week. Unless he has been laying a trail of fake tweets, which seems unlikely.BoyWithALightningScar says: I must say Mr. Gleeson is perfectly cast for the role of Bill Weasley. R-for-H says: OMG HERMIONE AND RON ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!

I just assumed it was Vern Troyer croaking out those few words.Lilleby says: ^Glad I could help(:supergirlinfrance says: amazing , can not wait !:!!Bookworm_Weasley says: I'm so glad to see that picture of Ron comforting Hermione...I was worried they were playing down Hermione's ordeal and having her strolling around as if nothing had happened.
I'm not sure what I think about Bill either yet, but he definitely looks like a Weasley! I do wonder about the scars, I don't remember whether they did Lupin's with makeup or effects.
Thanks for the amazing pics guys, you're wonderful! ^_^x_Potter_Lover_Forever_x says: These are really cool. Thanks Victoria and Nadean! :) spicefan1978 says: I am so loving these photos especially the one with Ron comforting Hermione :)snunkiebrian says: oh keep the pictures coming i'm loving themTifereth says: Woah, Emma photoing fans photoing Emma photoing fans.
*head explodes*
Loving these pics!HarryRichardsPotter says: i'm not really feeling the beards. I mean i know they wouldn't have time to shave because their main focus is destroying Voldemort's horcruxes and saving the frikking world with their wands and sword, but c'mon! their seventeen! They should make them look as young as possible for the ending! So they look really old, in comparison! BAHH!HarryRichardsPotter says: Vern as Dobby... i hope David Yates doesn't take it into his own hands to what Dobby should look like and completely change him! that would be awful! I really love Dobby and he's gonna one of the things i'm the most looking forward to seeing... again. They should defiantly give him more screen time, or more lines. Like "Dobby has not seen Harry Potter for too long!", i know it's not true to the book but i think they'd need an explanation for him being absent. Coz Daniel's aged ALOT since chamber of secrets, so Dobby would be like "HOLY SHIT HARRY POTTER!" then wack his head against the wall for swearing. LOL! MOVE OVER STEVEN KLOVES, Harry Richards is the new Screenwriter. I joke! you can keep your job, your amaazing!! :)mcleod27 says: Some great photos. Thanks Nadean. I like the ones where Emma Watson is taking the photos of Nadean taking photos. Great stuff! Smitch says: Awesome pics! rettopnaf says: Great pictures ....and glad to see Vern Troyer in something other then Austin Powers he actually grew up about 6 miles from where I live..in a small town called Centreville Michigan
FloridianFlounder95 says: Thanks Nadean and Victoria for these great pictures! They = Awesome!lilhpchick20 says: Great photos.iLoveDolores says: I LOVE DOBBY =DiLoveDolores says: can't wait for the movie =Davrenim says: i don't understand the verne troyer warwick davis thing.. verne should be playing griphook, no? if he wasn't reprising his role then why is he still involved in the film? oh well, great photos! especially the one of ron comforting hermione.. aww!levi-OH-sa not levio-SA says: i like the pics of emma and her camera
